Diabetes & Endocrinology

About Our Pediatric Diabetes & Endocrinology Services

Your child's growth and development becomes a focus from your very first visit to the pediatrician. It's this careful observation which can provide clues if things go wrong.

Sometimes seemingly minor issues related to weight and height can uncover an underlying hormonal condition such as a thyroid disorder or diabetes. At that point, your pediatrician may refer you to a pediatric endocrinologist who has specialized training in the diagnosis and treatment of these types of disorders among children and teens.

K. Hovnanian Children's Hospital's Endocrinology Division provides comprehensive, multi-disciplinary care for children with a variety of endocrine disorders. In fact, we offer the only American Diabetes Association-recognized Pediatric Diabetes Education Center in the region.
